The Peterborough Junior Championships is taking place this Saturday 24th June 2017 and is one of the major races of our calendar for the junior year groups. Headington has put a strong entry in this year for what promices to be a day of high quality racing for the J13 and J14 rowing squads.

The bus will depart at 6:30am at the latest. Please meet outside the school gate on Headley Way at 6:20am. Please note that there are boarders and girls who may be sleeping. YOU MUST NOT MAKE ANY NOISE outside the boarding house but rather wait outside the gate. Transport is available back from Peterborough at the end of the day for those who need it.

If your daughter is NOT racing until later in the day then she may travel to the venue with parents. If you are planning on doing this please let your daughters coach know through your year reps and ensure that your daughter arrives no later than 2 hours before their earliest race time.

Refreshments will be on sale outside the boathouse on the regatta site.

There will be a Headignton School gazebo available for parents to use on the day. Please can parents help to erect the gazebo alongside the course in the morning.
